I uploaded this to show a friend of mine this song is tuned fully to D and NOT tuned to Drop-D like in the tab books. I thought other Metallica fans/guitarists would be interested.

and.... I forgot I was playing a fixed bridge guitar as the solo came up. Excuse the hat. And yes I am out of tune.

  • man do i love your guitar playing! What kind of scales do you use for your lead playing? I would really like to know XD! YOU GUYS ARE THE NEXT BIG THING, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

  • @megaluisdeth I really like ....one i dont know the name of, I think it's "half diminished" it's a regular Diminished 4 note scale, but each diminished note has a note on top of it, a semi tone above.

  • Cool, very nice. But I'm just wondering how you know it's tuned in D standard and not drop D. I mean since i says in the tab book i'd assume it was drop D but I believe you when you say its in D standard, but where did you get that from?

  • from studying them playing it live, plus it just doesnt sound heavy enough in Drop D. I think theres a video of kirk playing a riff from it in an instructional video and its tuned all to D.
